Coming to San Miguel: Drum demonstration, advisory council elections and more

Thursday at 3 p.m. Dean Giles will talk about and demonstrate drums through the ages at the San Miguel Library, 254 13th St., in the first of three programs.

Next week — same time, same place — will feature Aleksandra Wydzga, a research scientist from Cal Poly presenting a program on the fossils and prehistory of San Luis Obispo County.

On Wednesday evening, the San Miguel Advisory Council will hold elections prior to meeting at the Community Building behind the library in the park.

At 6 p.m., meet the candidates for a question-and-answer session. The League of Women Voters will monitor the election, which will be held at 6:30 p.m. The regular meeting begins at 7 p.m. These are your representatives to the county Board of Supervisors and the Planning Department.
